Hey guys, this isn't a very big deal, but I've been wondering about water consumption.

I've noticed on my ride to work in the AM (9 miles), I don't even touch my water. Heck, I don't even remember I have it til I get to work and see it in the cage. On the ride home, I'll probably take 1 swig. I don't feel the thirst to drink, but I don't want to suffer a dehydration.

I rode 20 miles the other day, and I think I took 2 drinks, all while my wife finished her 20 oz bottle.

When I go MTB, I've been drinking less too. I'll only carry a 24 oz bottle, while a friend of mine, finishes his 50 oz (or 70?) Camel Bak.

Does the more you ride, the more you condition to require less water? I try to drink water during the day, but it's not excessive. I don't drink soda anymore either.
